Great video and very informative. I've got several acres I need cleared and this helps a lot.
Great! Thank you for watching.
"I think I péed a little" 😮..been there before. Thanks for sharing that with us.🤣😂
😬 it happens.
It's free food! Win for everyone. Another great video, thanks again.
Thanks for your support, as always. 👍🏻
Great info on feeding hay in wooded areas to maintain the rumen bacteria.
Yes! It doesn’t take much but that little bit of hay makes a big difference in rumen health.
Great video Tim, i liked the clear and concise method u used to describe this task
Thanks, Dave. 😬
Just a late fyi from Penn State...regarding cyanide (NOT arsenic) from cherry trees 25:30.
"When the cherry trees blow over and the leaves become wilted, these cherry leaves may contain cyanide. If cherry trees are when reach of animals in the pasture, beware of wilted leaves, because animals will easily consume these leaves. Animals ingesting wilted cherry leaves experience the release of cyanide (HCN) into the bloodstream; this toxin is very potent."
Great video.
Here (S.E. Texas it is not uncommon to see Brahman blood cattle "browsing" tree lines, especially hackberry & willow.
English blood do a little but Brahma much more likely to browse
Great comment. Thank you! We appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a helpful tip. 😎
Hello my teacher
God bless your family
Thank you sir!
I have been doing this around the house to mow all summer with my sheep. I don't weed'n'feed or fertilize the lawn so no danger there. With the lack of rain this year every square foot counts. With the current gas prices some farmers who normally bale hay around me aren't coming to bale so asking people with overgrown hay fields if you can graze them is an idea along with clearing woods for wool sheep people.
You’ve got the right idea. There are lots of patches of land out there you can easily pick up to have your animals clear. Free food and a little extra cash. 👍🏻
From Oz...thanks Tim - another great vid. Love the goats...we have a small herd of boer goats which we use for cleaning up riverside areas from willow, blackberry, gorse etc. Way better than the sheep who generally show no interest at all. The goats also seem very sure footed on the steeper river banks.
Thanks for watching, Ross! You are definitely right about the better footing on slopes. We have noticed this as well.
@@LinessaFarms how do u kno how much to charge
Would love to offer this service but no idea how to charge
Thanks for this! Literally the reason I chose sheep and goats is because they can help trim the overgrown/overweeded hay field I live on. Lots of grasses for the sheep and lots of brushy weedy stuff for the goats. I hope they like wild roses as much as the deer like my cultured roses!
P.S. When you were talking about the cherry trees, I think you said they release arsenic, but I've heard it's cyanide, isn't it?
Yes. You are correct! Meant to say cyanide.
I know this is an older video, I hope you still watch it for comments. The video is excellent. I learned a large amount. I had a couple of questions. What size deep cycle battery are you using and how long does a battery last before you have to take it in to charge it? I realize that my mileage may vary but was looking for an idea. Also, do you exchange out batteries or just leave the wire off while you charge? Thank you so much.
We have 2 deep cycle batteries that are 29DC 800MCA that we will switch out weekly. One goes on the trickle charger while the other is out. We also have a solar charging set-up we use in sunny areas. You can see this video here. czcams.com/video/xCr59rm6_is/video.htmlsi=xBnzzp-53fGMgmgv
Thanks for the question and let us know if you have any other questions. You can also email us directly at customerservice@linessafarms.com
@@LinessaFarms Thank you for taking the time to answer. I will be moving my fence weekly, probably, so that works perfectly.
How do you know which speedrite to buy? These fences keep dogs and coyotes out?
I would advise you to get the best fence charger you can afford. The amount of Jules will help you to determine the voltage it can carry over a distance. The more fence you have (especially temporary fencing) the more Jules you will need to push the voltage at a distance. You will always want to pay attention to this.
you mentioned a gate, but then wrapped the fence around the post at that location. Is a gate really just undoing the fence to have an opening?
Hi, Phil! Depends on how much money you want to spend. 😎
They make “gates” which are just short panels of fencing that tend to make your fence saggy and loose, but there are better options. For most fences, with the power turned off, you can simply step over the fence. We simply place an opening in the fence where we can open it up. I like this method for a few reasons. The main reason isn’t for people…. We usually just cut the power and step over the fence if need be. Where it really works well is for a trailer. We can open up the panels in a way that we can back a trailer in and then position the fence in an alleyway leading up to the trailer, or in some cases, we can make a small catch pen with extra fence and use that as a holding area from which we then load the trailer.
I will warn you about some of the fancy “drive through” electric gates if you happen to see them: they don’t work for sheep, goats, or dogs. We recently interviewed Nicholson farms in Southern Indiana and he had beautiful spring loaded drive through gates. They are basically a horizontal fiberglass pole with hot wires dangling down. I loved them as they seemed like a great idea. Lee told me the sheep, goats, and dogs just walk right trough them. ☹️
Sure as can be, we watched them do this….
We have a friend that has made permanent gates in places he consistently has portable fencing put up. I think it’s a waste of money, but it’s not my farm. 😬
I know I gave you a long answer to a simple question but I figured I would give you all the information I could. Thanks for watching the video and I appreciate you taking the time to ask a question. Best wishes to you and your family this upcoming spring!
@@LinessaFarms ok, that helps. Thanks for clarifying what you meant by a gate. And yes, I've thought those drive through gates might be a thing, so glad you mentioned that as well.
What is the name of the netting you use?
This is a link to the netting we used in this video.

They are actually renting goats and cats out to help with yard work and such. I just posted something about it and I'll post it in another comment.
What do you think about renting out goats? When they are rented is it the renters responsibility to care for them (water, etc)?
@@LinessaFarms well, I think it's a 'just a make money thing'. I mean you don't know if the ones you rent have a zoonotic disease or worm situation. You don't know if they have something that will make other animals you have sick. I think why not just get a couple of your own...or get a couple from a farmer down the road. What do you think?
@@morgancalvi6675 agreed. You’re better off getting your own. I suppose if you have no animals and have no plans on ever getting any and the person renting them is going to do all the care, set-up, etc… I would never just rent my animals out and allow someone else to care for them. Too much stuff can go wrong.
@@LinessaFarms right and exactly. I just kind of think it's over all an unnecessary expense. I would want a couple of goats...and then resell them when done if necessary. I mean you are taking care of them anyway. Someone asked me once if I could loan them my cat because they had a mouse they were trying to catch and I ended up saying 'no way'.
@@morgancalvi6675 we like our cats more than we like most people so that’s a definite no. 😬
TIM, TIM, TIM, is that the best you can do on driving a post in? you need some practice and I have the 75 ac for you to drive in the outside fence post so you can do a better job. I just want to help. put my hand on a fence post and had a come to Jesus moment myself, showed up when I had my pacemaker read at the heart doctor's office.
We have a gas powered t-post driver you can borrow. Just come on up to IN and pick it up. 😬
@@LinessaFarms thanks for the offer but the price of gas would kill me
What?!?
Too much talking without any action.
